So many faces that I wear
People not knowing how I feel inside
Covering up the things I can't bear
Trying to put the bad things aside
You see what you see
I feel how I feel
To myself I plea
The happiness I try to unseal
As I lay I try to sleep
Deep thoughts that contain my mind
That sometimes I start to weep
I awake to another day confined

A write of deep revealing thoughts and feelings. The accompanying picture adds perfectly to the expression.
Oh by the way, warm beautiful rays of sunshine lay just beyond the clouds.
Great Write -
great piece!!
faces wore different kind of mask as sometimes i do..
just loving it..
-
This is a wonderful write you have here. It really has a few words but says a whole lot. We do show different faces to the world. We show one face to our family. One to our friends. One to ourselves. And then one to our faith. This is a good write. Thanks for sharing

To often we are too many things to too many people, changing and adapting ourselves dependent on the person we are facing or the situation that we are in, we are never fully ourselves, often, we aren't even fully ourselves when we are alone, it is then that we can start to become lost.
We can feel trapped or not easily find an anchor for 'ourselves'. This piece very much speaks clearly of this, making the reader think about 'themselves', the self they see in the mirror and the miriad of 'selfs' that they reveal to other people.
Good write.

A very provocative write... recognizing the many facades we build both for acceptance and for our own protection... Well done and best of luck...

Deep thoughts that contain my mind

I awake to another day confined."

this is kind of different from the rest of your poetry
that I've read,but still it has so much feeling behind
it.And even though you might want to hide your head under a rock,sometimes it's better to just let go and say FUCK IT!!!!!!!!!!
-
Beautiful Write! Sadly I say I've been there a time or too and you put the words together exquisitely. Great Job, and good luck on the contest. God Bless, Jo-Ann
-
Excellent Work!!!
As sad as it was, this was GREAT. Nice and relatively short. I especially liked the way you used each line and made each one count towards your feelings. Very Nice Write
-

-

-
such depth with each line, you have expressed these profound thoughts so well taking your poetry to a new level .

What is reality. It's all about perception. The Johari window explains it best. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window
This is a great poem. -
:(
This piece saddens me deeply, I don't like to see my sweet friend sad and in turmoil. I'm hoping this is just a creative artist at work.
-
Very sad words here. What a terrible
position for someone to find himself in.
Can you imagine what the world would be
like if we weren't able to hide our feelings
from within? Very interesting and well
thought out my dear friend! Keep it up!
